Make your conference accessible
The Centre for Accessible Environments, together with the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) and Eversheds LLP, has prepared a guide for conference organisers entitled Make your conference accessible.
The purpose of the guide is to advise conference organisers about best practice for ensuring that conferences are accessible to disabled people and about how to make sensible and informed decisions when assessing both the accessibility of conference venues and the conference arrangements themselves.
This guide is now available in two formats: PDF (see below) or as conventional web pages (html).
(Complete guide comprises introduction, four checklists and two briefing notes)
Guide in individual sections (PDF version)
